I don't even know how to begin
So many thoughts, and my heart is overflowing
So many feelings crowding at the same time
Joy and humility and gratitude
In the arms of the mother who holds you silently
You blink cautiously into the light of the world
In your first morning, and I think
This is my child, what a gift

When all hopes wither
With you, I start all over again
And achieve the unattainable, yes I can!
You are the little apple tree that I plant!

Look around, now you are a part of the world
That constantly questions itself
Where people destroy their living space
Stubbornly ignoring every warning
A place of contradictions, poor and rich
Full of bitter need and abundance at the same time
A place of wars, a place full of suffering
Where people lack nothing but humanity!

When all hopes wither
With you, I start all over again
And achieve the unattainable, yes I can!
You are the little apple tree that I plant!

You are a light in uncertain times
A way out of hopelessness
Like a signal to keep going
A challenge to keep enduring
Where much is full of doubt, some things are despairing
A child makes you forget all doubts
In a world that drifts aimlessly and helplessly
Children are the only hope we have left!

When all hopes wither
With you, I start all over again
And achieve the unattainable, yes I can!
You are the little apple tree that I plant!
